Filter By Sender

This section enables you to filter by three different sets of lists.

Friends (whitelist) is a list of addresses or domain names of trusted mail sources. Mail sent from these addresses or domains will not be subject to spam filtering.

Enemies (blacklist), is a list of email addresses, domain names, or IP addresses that send mail you want to stop. You can select how blacklist entries will be handled:

 

Action

Description

Quarantine

Messages are saved in the quarantine for review.

Block

Messages are deleted immediately.

Recipient Friends (whitelist) is a list of a email addresses or domain names of mail recipients who should always receive mail sent from this outbound IP. Mail sent to these recipients will not be subject to spam filtering if ALL recipients of the email are on this whitelist. If your organization is using GoSecure's Encryption or DLP, those features will override a whitelisted recipient.

GoSecure does not recommend using whitelists or blacklists. See Best Practices for more information.

For all lists, each entry must appear on a separate line. You can also paste in the entries from another source. To remove an entry, delete the line. There is no restriction on the number of whitelist or blacklist entries.
